Fishing for people? What does that mean, exactly? It can’t mean tricking them into salvation the way a lure tricks a fish onto the hook. Pastor Ryan answers this question in this sermon.

God doesn’t ever force himself on us. He gives us signs of his presence and waits for us to notice Him, just like He gave Moses the sign of the burning bush. Paying attention and noticing these signs open us up to hear from Him directly.

One reason Jesus came to Earth is to make it possible for us to walk closely with God again — which is abundant life for us.

Ephesians 3:17-19 (NLT) ; 以 弗 所 書 3:17-19 (CUVS)
John 10:6-10 (NLT) ; 約 翰 福 音 10:6-10 (CUVS)

You can also download Pastor Ryan’s sermon notes (not a transcript). During the sermon he demonstrated a silly camp chant called “My Name is Bill”. Here is a similar one called “My Name is Joe”.

Pastor Ryan Emmons’ January 2022 sermon series, “But Because He Said So”, looks at some of the times that Jesus asked people to do something that seemed crazy, and what happened when they took him at his word and did it anyway “because he said so”. The series is based on the story of the miraculous catch of fish in Luke 5. What can we learn from what, how and who Jesus asks, and the responses of people to his requests? How might this affect our responses to what Jesus asks us to do?

January 9: Part 1 – The Miraculous Catch of Fish
January 16: Part 2 – “Look, All I Know is This” (the man blind from birth)
January 23: Part 3 – “As I Have Loved” (the woman caught in adultery)
January 30: Sorry — due to a technical glitch this one didn’t get recorded.
